Though there's the flight dispatcher to prepare the flight plan for you and METAR & TAF given to you prior to your flight etc...

A Pilot is always responsible for the safety of the flight under his command.

It is ALWAYS a PILOT'S RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that the flight plan route is correct, weather it's a tankering sector and if the CFP fuel is correct, whether the aircraft has any inoperative system(s), if so, can the aircraft still be dispatched safely according to MEL etc or if the aircraft is RVSM compliant if you are going to fly into RVSM airspace or request a different route for example if the flight route is wrong or if the initial route is bringing you right smack into the path of a typhoon etc.

So, if you don't know anything, how are you going to make wise decision(s)???

How are you going to be a safe and responsible pilot and make wise decision(s) when the situation arises when as only a trainee cadet, you are already complaining/ranting on why pilot's need to study so much???

If such is your thinking and mindset, NO ONE will feel safe to entrust you to fly their loved ones.

The more appropriate question is, will the airline(s) entrust you to fly a multi-million dollar aircraft on someone who only thinks a pilot's job is just flying.

Believe in HIM, HE will guide you through your training phase. Do concentrate in your flight training and to become a good pilot in future. We are happy to see that someone in the street is talking about the correct thing. Boy, do remember that there is no easy thing in any type of job. And remember if you are a pilot, you are bringing hundred of people on board. Yes, the training needs to be very intensive. No doubt. Amen.
